Long Lived Statesmen.

The longevity of famous statesmen is
remarkable. Imagine Lord Palmers.on
acting vigorously as Prime Minister of
England when over eighty, governing
the great British Empire with steady
hand and making speeches three hours
long in the House of Commons, and ris-
ing next day fresh as g man of forty!
Think of the venerable Guizot, the
French statesman, who at the age of
eighty seven was still writing histories.
presiding over religious conventions, and
carrying on lively discussions in the
French Academy.
The late Lord Lyndhur>t made able
speechc; in the House of Lords when he
had passed his nintieth year; and his
long time rival, Lord Brougham, wrote
his autobiography, in three goodly vol
umes, when he had nearly reached ninety
years.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, who, as
Lord Henry Petty, YVES leading men,
Der of the ''All the Talents" Cabinet, of
which Charles James Fox was the chief,
in 1906, was still an active member of the
House of Lords nearly sixty years later,
in 1868, and died in that year at the age
of eighty-three.
The Duke of Wellington took part in
public affairs until his death in 1862 in
his eighty-third year.
In former generations energetic States
men of advanced years were found
thickly scattered through the pages of
history. There was the old Marquis of
Winchester. who could remember Ed
ward w., the first York sovereign, in
1883, and who, when he died in 1872 at
the age of ninety seven, WAS holding Of
fee under Queen Elizabeth.
Referring to the Statesmen of our own
country, it is familiar fact that John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson. the second
and third President, both died the 4th
of July, 1926. just half a century from
the day on which both signed the De-
claration of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. being
81 and Jefferson 90. President Andrew
Jackson lived to be g., John Quincy
Adams to be 81, and Madison So

Worship of Ancestors.

During the first three weeks in April
the Chinese held prolonged "All
Souls" festival in honor of their dead an
cestors. Family parties are arranged for
days outing at the graves of their de-
parted sires. They walk many miles,
bearing stores of good things, such as
roast ducks and fowls. and cooked fish.
They provide sometimes a roasted pig,
for which the more economical substi-
tutc a pigs head with the tail in his
mouth, which is symbolic of the whole
animal. AS the dead ancestors care only
to smell the offerings, the family enjoy
an excellent feast on their return home.
Worship of ancestors permcates Chi
nese life, affecting the most trivial details
of every day. 1t is the most conserva-
tive of influences, for it compels the
Chinese to look backward, instead of for.
ward, and obliges him to stop and think
If a proposed act may not offend the
spirits of his fathers. He may be a
Buddhist or a Taoui,t, or Confucian,
but his first duty is to worship his an
cestors.
Even the service ofthc Empire must
give way to this act of fiIial reverence. 1t
is the one thing in China which takes
precedence of everything else. The most
important Government officer may ne
glect his official duties with impunity
while engaged in some ceremonial asso-
ciated with this worship. Should his
father or mother die while he is in Office.
he is obliged to retire from public life
for many months.
A Viceroy of Canton was notified that
his grandmother had die at Pckin. An
Imperial order summoned him to attend
her obsequies and to remain in mourning
for one hundred days.
Being aperson of dignity, he required
large rctnue to attend him. He char
tered special steamer at cost of ten
thousand pounds to convey him and his
suite to Taku. Sea-sickness so disguised
him with the ocean that he embarked at
Shanghai, sent his baggage on the
steamer, aud iourneyed the rest of the
way b. land to honor his grandmother's
remains.
Yet the man who thus hono:s an an
cestorneed not even wear mourning at a
daughters death, much less interrupt
his daily business on account of such an
event. Youths Companion.

Flying" Glassware.

Glass is frequently said by servants to
''iy of ITSELF" 1t never flies from the
thin to tie thick part, but the reverse
invariably. We once knew servant
girl who said richly cut sugar basin of
Hanged shape had flown, and she
found the pieces inside of it, so that by
her experience glass not only flies but
jumps.
Change of temperature suddenly
causes "fyage." For example, glass
kept in cold, frosty pantry will fly
when brought into hot room, so a glass
from a warm place will fly when ice is
put into it. Thick ice plates in glass
should never be used, nor should ice
plates be touched by warm hand when
in use. 1t is best to put them upon a
china plate.
China dishes, nor we'll dishes, in even
common general earthenware, should
never be put into the oven or upon the
hot plate. Warm water, not hot, will
make them sufficiently heated for use.
Glass dishes should never have hot
things placed in them; "fyage' is great
ly pre- ented if the dishes be warmed
gradually. In frosty weather dealers
are worried about goods "hying." In
ninety nine cases out of hundred this
is from a want of knowledge of why
glass flies.
Your glass mustard pot, often thick
one, should never be soaked in hot or
even warm water.
Your decanters and water bottles
should never be cleaned inside without
hot water.
A little consideration will tell the
thoughtful mind that expansion and
contraction of metals land glass is a
metaD should not be sudden, but grad
ual and regular, in all parts alike. Very
thin glass does not fly from hot water
often, it being SO thin that heat expands
it all at once; consequently it does not
burst from a part only expanding, or the
thick and thin parts expanding I'M
equally.

Hints and Recipes.

Pic plant makes nice jelly by the same
process as any other Jelly; only you must
first add little water and boil ten or
twelve minutes. 1t is nice favored with
lemon.
The Scientific american states that
plush goods and all articles dyed with
aniline colors, faded from exposure to
light, will look bright as ever after be-
ing sponged with chloroform.
To make grape pie, pop the pulps out
of the skins into one vessel and PIT the
skins into another Then simmer the
pulp little and run it through q colander
to separate the seeds. Next put the skins
and pulp together and they are ready for
pies.
To eradicate grease: Take of soft soap
and fuller's earth half a pound each;
beat well together in mortar and form
into cakes. The spot, after being moist
ened with water, is rubbed with the
cake and allowed to dry, when it is well
rubbed with a little warm water, and
rinsed or rubbed off clean.
If you have solled white Spanish or
cachemire lace, do not throw it aside as
worthless, for it may be colored with
some of the dyes now to be found in
small packages. The lace may then be
used in a great many ways. One way is
to trim the edge of tides made of strips
of ribbon and lace, or of ribbon and vel
vet, or of those novelties for the backs of
chairs made of strip of plain silk placed
on each side of very elegant strip of
crazy patchwork.

be despisod: Put three tablespoonfuls

Chinese tell the following story in expla-
nation of their choosnga particular date
for the observance of this cast 1m: In an

Shay was informed by one of the wise
men of his locality that some dire ca
unity would befall his household on the

himself lucky to have escaped with his
family, and, the story having got around,

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Can Corn.

Use glass cans, and be sure that they
are perfect. Cut the corn from the cob,
press it into the cans with potato
masher) till the milk flows over. Put on
the rubber and the top, and screw down
tight. Place them in boiler with sticks
on the bottom, pour in cold water enough
to about two-thirds cover them. Boil
five hours. When about half cooked,
remove a can at time, tighten the top
and replace. Use fresh corn, and begin
and finish the canning in one day. Any
amateur can successfully can corn if she
will follow the above directions. The
reason so many failures in canning occur
is bee use of carelesspess in little things.
The rubbers must be perfect of their
kind. New rubbers can be had at any
house-furnishing store. The cans must
be perfectly clean and sweet, and every
stage of the process conducted with ex-
actness. And even then, as with bread,
the most careful housekeeper will some
times fail and get ''down on her luck"

Origin of "Dude. "

Who invented the word dude' Why,
Mr.. Hermann Oe,richs, or else the tradi-
tons of the Union Club are way off. A
dozen explanations have recently been
printed upon this important subject. It
is assuming in the provincial press the
consequence of tie hoary conundrums
about Beautiful Snow" and William
Patterson. The simple fact is that Mr..
Hermann Oclrichs, who is distinguished
by a deep contempt for effeminacy in
either dress or manner, sat one day at a
window of the Union Club, gazing alb
stractedly upon Fifth avenue. Other
members occupied other windows, also
contemplating the passing show. Along
came a very much overdressed youth
with so affected q manner and so mincing
a gait that involuntarily one of the club
men began humming an accompaniment
to the step, thus: ''Du, da de, du-du,
da, de du' "That's good" exclaimed
Mr.. Oelrichs, with sudden inspiration.
81 wondered what to call it. 1t ought
to be called a dude" And dude it has
been called, and all the im:tators and
varieties of it ever since.-New York

Chinese Paper.

1t was toward the end of the first CEN
fury of our era that great mandarin of
the palace, a distinguished physician,
discovered the secret of making a very
fine paste with the bark of several trees
and old silk stuffs. by boiling them in
water. lie made with this paste differ
ent kinds Of papers. To-day the chi
which is the name given to paper in
China-is manufactured with divers ma
terials. They make it of hemp, of null
berry bark, with that of the cotton tree
and several other trees, particularly the
bamboo; of rice and wheat straw, and,
lastly, of the little skin which is found
in the cocoon of s;lkworms.
He Didn't Understand q Woman.
He tried to steal kiss from poUting lips
As sweet and fair
AS roses from which the wild bee sips

He backward drew and straightway did

And she was mad.

4 POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY.

The Governor OF Nevada and the Gov
ernor OF Idaho are brothers, says the
Silver State. The latter is . Democrat
and the former a Republican. therefore,
politically speaking, one is a saint and
the other is q sinner. The I1aho Steven
son, in his message to the Legislature.
protests against the annexation Of any
part Of his Territory to Nevada, while
the Nevada Stevenson is silent on the
subject Of annexation. II the proposed
scheme Of extending the northern boun-
dairy Of Nevada 70 . line running east
and west from Mount Idaho is carried
into effect, il is possible that the broth.
ers may be pi.ted against each other in
the next Gubernatorial contest, as were
the Taylor brothers in Tennessee last
last election, one Of whom was q vocalist
and the other q violinist, and the choice
was determined by the popularity of the
airs which the one san and the other
played, the fiddler coming out several
thousand ahead. In view OF this con-
tingeney and the experience Of the
Taylors, the Silver State would respect
fully suggest to the Idaho Governor, if
he does not already understand drawing
the bow and lingering the catgut, that he
take lessons a. once and practice unceas-
ingly until he can play Rack.back Davy
and the Arkansaw Traveller, with the
variations, SO that be can carry the State
by storm. as it were, and get an almost
unanimous vote in the mining camps and
outside precincts. Fiddling, especially
if the tunes are popular. is much more
effective method OF electioneering than
stamp speaking, as it gets the men in
good humor, and ~insnres the musician
the enthusiastic support Of the women
folks.

TEE Doom OF PoLYGaMY.

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, in an ar
ticIe on the Utah bill, says: After all the
declarations OF the Republican party for
the last twenty years or more that
poIygamy among the Utah Mormons
ought to be broken up, and after all the
professions made that only TIE Repub-
lican party would ever, or could ever,
deal with this monstrous iniquity, it has
remained for a Democratic House OF Rep
resentatives under q Democratic Admin
istration to deal it a deadly blow. The
Tucker substitute for the Edmurds bill,
that passed the House Wednesday by an
overwhelming vote, . bill drawn mp by a
Democratic Representative and advo-
Gated by Democrats, Is certainly the
most radical as il is the most practical
Measure for the utter extIrpatlon OF
polygamy that has ever beea proposed
or acted upon 10 all the course OF Iegisla-
sicn on this subject. The result will be,
II bhtJ Dill Is agEceu W Wy VIC Sf
that what has been talked about for a
qnarter Of a century, what the Repab-
Iican party was always going to do, but
never did, what in its vociferous sell
righteousness this party declared would
never be done, will be done at last and
done effectually. The operation OF such
a statute as that proposed BY the Tucker
substitute for the Edmunds bill will ex-
tirpate poiygamy in Utah utterly and re-
move what has been a national scandal
for years. Il will prepare the way for
the admission OF Utah, c!eansed from
this foul stain, to the sIsterhood OF
States. It il one OF the most important
measures ever passed by Congress IN re-
cent years, and Is in itself a Sufficient
answer to the oft-repeased charge OF the
Republican organs, that the Democratic
party possessed neither the will, the
wisdom nor the courage to deal with the
question Of e~xtirpating the polygamy OF
M0rmonism.
